This intelligence input has come at a time when contrasting e-mails have surfaced in the aftermath of the Delhi High Court blast, which has taken 13 lives till now. One of the emails, purportedly sent by an Indian Mujahideen functionary, codenamed, Chhotoo, has threatened to carry out on Wednesday at attack just like blasts outside shopping malls. The target city has not been mentioned in the e-mail.
On the back of this threatening mail, the latest intelligence input from the Indo-Bangla borders has thrown the security agencies into a tizzy. Though the officials at the union home ministry have not yet verified the authenticity of any of the e-mails that credit the blasts to different groups. They also say that all of the emails could be a red herring aimed at misleading the probe and giving time to the real perpetrators of terror attack in New Delhi to escape the dragnet. But the intelligence inputs, according to sources, are being taken lightly at this point of time.
